The state of Texas will give Elon Musk’s SpaceX $17.3 million to help expand its Starlink manufacturing facility near Austin.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced the funding on Wednesday. The money will be awarded to SpaceX subsidiary Starlink through Abbott’s Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund, an incentive program to encourage semiconductor research, development and manufacturing.

Only five grants have been awarded since the $698.3 million fund was created in 2023, the governor’s office told The Texas Newsroom.
